HERMOINE AND HONEY BLOSSOM

Thanks for the positivity that shines through your responses.  The “other granny” is very possessive and I can well imagine that she would prefer to be in control of the children,  now grown and making their own way in the world.   My neices also now have their own families and I do indeed have a good relationship with the ever growing band of great nephews and neices.  Reading how you both have come to terms with your situations is inspiring.   I know how fortunate I am to have a strong and happy marriage and the comoany of a soft and VERY LOVING dog.  No doubt you both recognise that there are times when the emotions just creep up on you from nowhere.  I wish you both well and again thank you for your responses.
